A total of 10 riders- five each from Guyana and Suriname- competed in overcast conditions in front of a small gathering of cycling aficionados, who cheered on the riders as they attempted to clock the fastest time after two laps.
At the completion of the event, race official Joseph Britton had Suriname’s Dimitri Madamsir as the fastest rider on record, completing the course in four minutes, 10.12 seconds.
“My game plan was to really have a steady tempo and not start off too fast,” Madamsir said. “It was about having consistent pace throughout the course.” From left: Guyanese Alexander Leung, Mario Washington and Aaron Newton (Photo: News Room/Avenash Ramzan/November 25, 2022) Guyanese pair Alexander Leung and Aaron Newton closed out the top three spots, finishing second and third respectively.
Leung was timed at four minutes, 12.10s, while Newton stopped the clock at four minutes, 13.26 seconds.
Leung, a newcomer at the Inter-Guiana Games, said the experience was a good one, especially coming up against foreign riders in a competitive environment.
Newton labelled his debut at the Games as important to his cycling development. He added that the course had its own share of challenges, highlighting the difficulty dealing with the wind factor.
